Hi there Tim, Short answer,.....................I dunnow. Cheers, Etienne,

rossm, This is a screen grab from a period colour film that was presented on this forum a while ago. I only enhanced the colours to normal tones. The Lysander is an original colour photo that appeared in Aeroplane mag. many moons ago. cheers.

The roundel ratio on this new Blenheim is not strictly 2:5.......with the red slightly bigger than the "normal" as seen on the Lysander from the same period. Could this be a slip by the paint shop or something else? I am planning to build this and I suppose the roundel will have to be hand painted.

Splendid Job with the decals mate.............. The REAL cherry on the cake would be,,,,,,,,,, to find a colour version of the subject! Cheers, Etienne.

Non UK members, go to the IWM film section ..........I have just now viewed it there. Looks like some candidates there .......................

Tony, it's been sitting in my flickr site for five years ..................

Here is a colour image converted to B/W of two Baltimore's. Although it does not solve the problem of this thread it illustrates the difficulty of interpreting colour from black and white photos. Cheers, Etienne.

Tony, I have never seen a photo of one in mid stone and dark earth but quite a few profiles Until a convincing image is shown here I'm with you............... Etienne.

Jerry, It looks like this to my eye. From the Rudy Arnold collection here http://edan.si.edu/slideshow/viewer/?eadrefid=NASM.XXXX.0356_ref1255

woody37.....................look at post #28 above.

Here is the origin of the colour photo ...........been there for at least ten years. https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/engineers-mending-a-hawker-hurricane-aircraft-news-photo/3310743?adppopup=true

..............

I have enlarged the critical part of the image, and I am none the wiser, .........but I do not see the ' hydraulic cylinder ' on the other leg.

Another lines question...........? This time it's a thin red line on mainly Bf 109's but also on Ju 88 cockpit glazing.

Thanks for the great input chaps.........especially fernandocouto for the very nice photo as well as Black Night. Your info makes perfect sense. Now my soul can rest............ Cheers.
